We interrupt our normal Tuesday Shoesday to bring you this important message. I have taken the plunge and painted my breakfast nook in chalkboard paint! haha! I'm sure everyone is dying over this. Anyway, I have about 20 projects going on in the house right now, but I thought it would be fun to show you the breakfast area thus far!!!

| These chairs are headed to the dining room for now and I need a new light fixture for here... |

| 1st coat of chalkboard paint on, 2nd coat will be done today! |
Back to the walls...Unfortunately you can't draw on the walls for four days after the last coat but I'm already brainstorming on what we will do first.....
Maybe a fun mural.....
Cute Messages and drawings...
